In the world of alternative
medicine there is a fast emerging sector
of supplements that falls under the heading
of enzyme therapy. Among the various
therapies you will see that there is
one in particular called “systemic
oral enzyme therapy.” This
differs from digestive enzyme therapy
because it is taken without food
and is meant to work on the body.

The
confusion, as of late is among the “systemic” blends. If
you read the label, it may say a proprietary
blend of x, y, z. of 1500mg. Then
it may be marketed for something
like anti-inflammatory properties. Now
on the very next shelf, you can read
the same xyz ingredients and same mg’s
but marketed for cardiovascular. Many
companies try to explain what is called
fibrinolytic properties. This is
simply the enzyme’s ability to
eat scar tissue and debris. One
enzyme may say it is “more fibrinolytic” than
the other. Even with this information
written, it appears to be very unclear
in the consumers’ mind because
of the questions I receive. Furthermore,
this very point, if misunderstood, misrepresented
or mismarketed can wipe enzyme therapy
off the map forever.

I wish
to explain this using my brand of enzyme
called ABC systemic oral enzyme of 1500mg.

The first
blend of ABC has 10x of A, 2x of B, and
3x of C.

A=Bromelain
which has anti-inflammatory properties.

B=Nattokinase-
which is also anti-inflammatory and may
thin the blood

C=Lipase-
which digests fat

All wrapped
up in a 1500mg capsule.

Now,
since it is high in A- 10x of Bromelain,
it is correctly marketed for its anti-inflammatory
properties. It would “systemically
work” on the body’s widespread
inflammation safely. This would
be properly and safely taken by sports
figures to help their muscles and even
if a handful were taken, the small amount
of 2x Nattokinase, would not thin the
blood too much for the person to hemorrhage.
If another company takes the exact same
mix and misrepresents this blend as a
blood thinner, YOU would pay a lot and
have to take a ton of it before it could
put a dent into the blood. If it
were incorrectly marketed, a person who
was on medical blood thinners may feel
that they could drop their medication
and take the enzyme blend. If the
consumer advisors for the incorrectly
marketed enzyme blend told him the wrong
dose, the blood may never thin like the
medicine and this person could die.

The second
blend of ABC has 2x of Bromelain, 10x
of Nattokinase, and 3x of Lipase.

If this
blend were to be marketed as a blood
thinner, that would be ok as long as
only a small amount were prescribed to
the client to prevent hemorrhage. If
this were marketed as an anti-inflammatory
for sports and the person thought just
because the ingredients were the same,
he or she may mistakenly take handfuls
of the enzyme, not knowing that he is
thinning his blood to the point of inducing
a hemorrhage. The 10x of the Nattokinase
puts this blend in the category far from
a systemic enzyme.

The Third
and final blend has 2x of Bromelain,
1x of Nattokinase and 10x of Lipase. It
is correctly marketed for weight loss
because it is High in lipase, which breaks
down fat. If it were marketed any
other ways a person may have to take
a whole jar before any anti-inflammatory
properties were visible.

I
hope this illustration is clear. The
public needs to be aware that companies
are trying to jump on the bandwagon of
systemic oral enzyme therapy for capitol
gain. Un- suspecting customers
may fall pray to companies claiming to
be the best enzyme blend and they may
also have health care professionals as
spokespeople. Clearly, the companies
themselves do not understand the complex
world of enzyme therapy, and even if
they do, they put making money ahead
of the people of America. This
is the sleazy side of systemic enzyme
therapy. To avoid being pimped,
only buy from a reputable enzyme company
who uses enzyme professionals to formulate
products. Falling prey to misleading
marketing even if a product is all-natural
can kill you just as effectively as a
pharmaceutical drug.
